Answer:

The correct answer would be option A, The theft of the copper wiring was an unforeseeable intervening cause of the cornice collapse.

Explanation:

The owner of the warehouse has been taking care of the warehouse despite the fact that the warehouse was not in the use of anyone. Although the warehouse was not being used, the owner has maintained the building in conformity with all state and local laws and regulations. Now the incident happened due to the theft of the copper wire, due to which the cornice collapsed. This was totally unforeseeable and there was not even a little mistake of the owner, also he has been maintaining  the warehouse in conformity with the laws of the area, the owner can easily file a motion to dismiss the case.

Svetlanka [38]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question seems to be incomplete because it does not provide any references, we can say that the cultural differences that are likely to arise between Costco US employees and local employees that are working in Australia Spain, and China are the result of totally different cultures, idiosyncrasies, customs, and traditions.

American customers are so different from Australian, Chinese, or Spanish consumers. What works in one country would not work in another. What is success in the US could be a failure in Spain. We are talking about different preferences, tastes, likes, and traditions.

That is why it is so important that Costco branches in other countries survey and understand local people's minds and tastes, so employees in each country can be trained in customer services, local preferences, assertiveness, human and business orientation, and many others.
